The general consensus seems to be that the original books are better. Although I haven't read the stories they mentioned, that often does seem to be the case. Don't you agree?

September and October's prize was a Japanese literature book of one's choice (up to $15 value). Since there were only two participants this time around it didn't seem fair that only one should receive the prize, so congratulations Novroz and Ash, you've both won! I'll be in touch soon for your choices.

And if you haven't seen it yet, the new mini-challenge for November is up. It's time to share some of your Japanese favourites, and as it's the last Hello Japan! mini-challenge (at least for awhile) I do hope you'll join us!

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I love hearing from you and I read every single one!
